Former Maryland school principal, 90, arrested for raping teen students in the 1960s

Teenage girls involved in a decades-old rape case may be seeing justice served now that Maryland State Police have arrested a Bowie, Maryland, man suspected of raping the two minors at an Eastern Shore private school in the late 1960s.

Russell Isaac, 90, of Prince Georges County, is charged with multiple counts of rape plus associated sex offenses. He was arrested on the morning of December 3 at his home by troopers from the Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack. Isaac is being held at the Prince George’s County Detention Center.

The investigation by the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division began in May 2016 when a female victim came forward and disclosed that in the late 1960’s she was a 14-year-old student at the W.C. Moffett School, which was located in the town of Barclay, Maryland, in Queen Anne’s County and where Isaac was the principal. 

Through the investigation, a second victim was identified and reported to have also been sexually assaulted by Isaac when she was 15 years old. According to the victims, the sexual assaults occurred at the school between 1966 and 1968.

Investigators believe there may be additional victims out there. Anyone who has information on this case is asked to contact the Maryland State Police Centreville Barrack at (410)758-1101.

The investigation into this case is continuing.
